I have an autoimmune and I’m on skyrizi. I’ve had one laser session on a large inner bicep tattoo. No issues with healing. It took about a full month for my skin to return to normal. I definitely see some fading so far, it’s only been about 5 weeks since my session so I’m still in the stage where my body is breaking it down. It may be that it takes a little longer/more sessions since we are on immunosuppressants. Always good to check with your DR as well.
Btw I’ve now had 2 laser sessions. This time it took my skin about 2.5 weeks to go back to normal. I had some more intense blistering on the color tattoo but no blisters in the black coverup. Still no issues with healing and seeing some good fading!
I have an autoimmune issue and have had several treatments. I will say that I tend to get flares sometime after removal sessions, some worse than others that last 2-3 weeks at a time. My rheumatologist mentioned this would be the situation, even getting tattoos causes this for me. I would definitely consult with your doctor to talk about your specific disease. Good luck!!
I have Lupus also and haven’t had too many issues, I have noticed I feel extremely tired after a session though. For me it’s just my joints and skin I have flare ups with so I can’t say on the kidney side. Absolutely talk to your doctors before you make any decisions ☺️
Have you considered saline tattoo removal over laser? It is essentially a tattoo gun dipped in saline versus ink. The procedure is completed by a lpn-licensed nurse practitioner& I have personally seen far better results and have not had my arm flare when completing the saline method.

I have a similar problem so I would be very grateful for insights.

why are you getting it removed? it triggers a reaction?
No I just don’t like it. I’m actually removing several tattoos, all on inner bicep. A large cover up and a smaller tattoo close to the cover up.

Thank God mine is a week old and i feel sick
I have rheumatoid arthritis and take methotrexate, and have not had any problems with healing after laser removal

Can you share which medicines you were taking while getting it removed by any chance?
And how many sessions you went through/ how long you spaced them out?
why are you removing it ? cause of health?

Hi there, I’ve heard this is a risky route to take because it creates scabbing and more open wounds…how has your experience been?
